466477@LAC365FO – Images included in the email body expire and are not displayed correctly

In previous versions, in Microsoft-hosted Service Fabric environments, any images added to the email body were not displayed correctly.

The following is an example:

How Do Images Work in the Email Body Form?

When editing the predefined destinations for your email, all used images are saved into a temporary Azure storage because the CK editor cleans up Base64-encoded data.

Once the editing is completed and the email body is saved to the database, all temporary image URLs are converted to placeholders.

Therefore, while editing, the code for the images looks as follows:

<p>Testing images1</p>
<p><img height="70" src="http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1/temporary-file/%7B9A14CCE1-2BF7-477A-BC5D-FB9C0EA16856%7D/LACFPLogoWithText.png?sv=2018-03-28&amp;sr=b&amp;sig=gbdWtGROk8d12xELRas50DT5ilF425e7YVBhnAr4WSI%3D&amp;st=2025-05-21T08%3A05%3A32Z&amp;se=2025-05-21T08%3A45%3A32Z&amp;sp=r" width="316" /></p>

In the database, it is saved as:

<p>Testing images1</p>
<p><img height="70" src="##ImageId##LACFPLogoWithText.png##" width="316" /></p>

When the report is generated, these placeholders are automatically replaced with Base64 data, as the temporary file URL is used only while editing.

The issue described in this work item was due to the differences in the encoding of the <source> URL (src).

In some environments, it is encoded as http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1/temporary-file/%7B9A14CCE1-2BF7-477A-BC5D-FB9C0EA16856%7D/...

In Service Fabric, instead, it is http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1/temporary-file/{9A14CCE1-2BF7-477A-BC5D-FB9C0EA16856}/  

Notice that some environments use URL encoding ”%7B”, while others do not encode and use “{“.

The code written to recognize these patterns was only looking for “%7B”.

This has been fixed in Lasernet FO Connector 7.1.3, which supports the use of both “%7B” and “{“.

Recommendation

We recommend that customers who include images in the email body open and close the Predefined destination form (or Email body form) so that the updated code in 7.1.3 can replace URLs with ID placeholders.

To validate that everything is working, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Lasernet > Setup > Overview > Destinations > ellipses button on the Email parameters FastTab.

2. Click Options > Record info.

The Record information form opens.

3. Click Script.

4. Open the downloaded file “bufferScript”.

You can validate that the image has been converted to database by reading the downloaded bufferScript.
